The study of governmental assistance in industrial innovation under knowledge based economy - A Case study in "Industrial Technology Development Program

ABSTRACT
Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) launched technology development program in 1979 in order to develop industrial innovation technology and satisfy domestic economic development. In the Age of Knowledge Based Economics, the key factors of continuing growing up of nations are the energy of research and development (R&D) and innovation.
From 1997, MOEA made technology development program open to companies, it is Industrial Technology Development Program (ITDP). In order to encourage private sector R&D and innovative activities, MOEA subsidizes companies reduce the risk and the cost of R&D and innovation. From the beginning of ITDP, it has made plenty of R&D outputs, but we have to evaluate the efficiency of R&D. In order to allocate government funds more efficient, we pay much attention to the performance of R&D projects. In order to understand government subsides industries, this thesis is trying to research the object of ITDP of MOEA.
The research methodology applied to this thesis includes: the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the R&D efficiency; model from Charnes, Cooper & Rhodes (1978) to measure the over-efficiency; model from the Banker, Charnes & Cooper (1984) to measure the technical efficiency, input/output slacks method to analyze the extent for which non-efficiency unit could be improved by decreasing the amount of inputs or increasing the amount of outputs, and sensitivity analysis to measure the key factors of ITDP R&D Projects. According to this thesis, we can evaluate the Decision Making Units (DMUs) and suggest the information to improve performance. Using these analyses as a reference to those project executives and administrators for controlling and management the performance of R&D projects.
